EMINIMA
is built from free server and client software - this is the basic
component of today's free Internet/LAN applications.

EMINIMA also includes minimalist, cross-platform set of tools for delivering content, so when used, the implications are:

(1) Any entity (school, LGU or NGO) with Pentium I (the oldest PC
nowadays) and 64 MB memory will be able to enjoy uptodate content.

(2) Any entity will be able to develop content, too, and put the new
content in a new CD (but if there is no CD-burner, they just copy the
new content to the hard disk).

(3) A national entity (e.g., CICT or DepEd) can foster competition
for content creation so that schools, for example, can enjoy multiple
content offerings and deploy all those contents in its PC. Such
offerings will be low-cost (say, P100 per CD, deployable in the whole
school).

(4) When there are many CD-loads of alternative content, virtual
internet will be achieved in the most far-flung school and the school's
interconnection to the Internet core will not anymore be a precondition
to using elearning (or egovernance, for that matter).

(5) Teachers will regain prominence as the facilitators of learning,
as they will assume the role of leading/mediating both the creation and
exchange of content, using EMINIMA tools.

(6) To propagate EMINIMA, training of trainors is now being done, with program site at coweb.org.
